World affairs correspondent Roland betzhamov filed this report talking about the international concern about the situation in Afghanistan.


Mr Betzhamov talks about the European union high representative Josep Borrell comments about the disappointment of the European union from the US administration for ignoring the union about the situation in Afghanistan.

Mr Bitzhamov says " I am wondering why would Josep Borrell make such remarks? the decision of US and it's allies troops withdrawal was made during the Trump's administration time and as a matter of fact the deadline for withdrawal was the end of May, but the Biden administration asked for an extension to the end of August 2021".

Mr Betzamov also talks about the Taliban opposition Ahmad Massoud, who is the leader of the National Resistance Front of Afghanistan. He has set up base in the Panjshir valley, north of Kabul, where many Afghani army soldiers and the former vice-president Amrullah Saleh has also taken refuge.
